Description
Coleonema pulchrum 10LT, commonly known as Pink Confetti Bush, is a beautiful indigenous evergreen shrub prized for its fine, aromatic foliage and masses of soft pink flowers that bloom from late winter through spring. The colourful blossoms attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, making it a valuable addition to indigenous and wildlife-friendly gardens. Its naturally rounded growth habit makes it ideal for borders, rockeries, low hedges, mixed shrub beds, and containers. Coleonema pulchrum typically grows 1–2m tall and 1–1.5m wide.
